I got a standard Kabar, just a Full Size Straight edge non-serrated US Army Fighting knife, from my ex-girlfriend two years ago for my birthday and it is by far the best knife that I have ever owned. I would carry it around all day if it weren't taboo and unnecessary haha.

I have done many tasks using this knife from cooking/eating with it and using it to cut down small trees. No matter what situation I have found myself in I have always been confident that my Kabar will be able to meet all of my needs.

I was wondering what kind of knives everyone takes with them whenever they are going into the woods.]]>

Knife is shipped shaving-sharp, together with a simple and useful plastic sheath.

Despite its understated and modest look, it is versatile and reliable - 100mm blade is great for bushcraft and camping, also useful in DIY projects or in the kitchen. Mora 860's sister model (Bahco 2444) is one of the most frequently used knives in my kitchen.

Stainless steel chosen for the blade combines the properties of strength, corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening and edge retention. However there was a les common version with carbon steel blade (Clipper 840) having excellent blade retention, aimed towards expert users.

Newer date Mora logo (once upon a time it was Frosts)

Thanks to Scandi grind (single bevel) it is easily sharpened on a whetstone. With some patience and knowledge it is fairly easy to modify this blade to convex grind (easily sharpened on sandpaper and generally used in bushcraft).

Grip surface (black elastomer) is sticky and doesn't allow slippage, even in damp or wet conditions.

As an owner of three similar models (Bahco and Mora) I highly recommend this knife. I've bought mine in a local store (official importer) for a fair price of around 12 Euros. Bahco 2444 is esssentially the same knife, but different brand and colouring (bright orange/black) and, most important, it can be bought even cheaper than Mora - but beware of counterfeits.

"MG" stands for "Military Green" (ordinary Clipper is usually blue with black grip).

Cheers,
